Walking on Jura, Islay and Colonsay

23 wild walks in the Southern Hebrides
Guidebook to Jura, Scarba, Islay and Colonsay in the Hebrides, describing 22 walks plus a 5-day 89km trek along Jura's remote west coast. The routes range from 6.5 to 25km and cover rough - and often pathless - terrain suitable for fit, competent walkers. Even the coastal walks offer challenges.

Jura, Islay and Colonsay sit at the wilder, less visited end of the Hebridean island chain. Jura, in particular, is one of the last genuinely remote walking destinations in the British Isles, with a roadless west coast, the iconic triple summits of the Paps of Jura, and the notorious whirlpool of Corryvreckan drawing walkers seeking something well beyond the ordinary.

This comprehensive Cicerone guidebook by Peter Edwards covers 22 day walks and one five-day 89km (55-mile) trek along Jura's remote west coast, across Jura, Islay, Colonsay, Oronsay and Scarba.
